O'Brien/Merriman, AUS: 35.72 TES + 26.30 PCS = 62.02 Total: 104.69
They're really bouncy on the ice and don't have a lot of deep knees or edges, she steps down early in the twizzles, unique stationary lift

Borounov/Borounov, AUS: 24.66 TES + 19.05 PCS = 43.71 Total: 72.23
Bent legs, came down early from the twizzles, she's hunched in the holds, not a lot of basic technique

Guan/Wang, CHN: 35.10 TES + 28.39 PCS = 63.49 Total: 106.26
She has some nice extension, they're very stiff with their hands which cuts off the line of the arm, some good lifts

Bruhns/Westenberger, MEX: 24.95 TES + 22.92 PCS = 47.87 Total: 88.55
Way off unison on the twizzles, could work on legs and arms in step sequences, some interesting moves, get into the performance toward the end of the program

Paul seemed nervous throughout C/P's program, but they sold it - they were more expressive than they've been this season - Vanessa has clearly been working hard on that. The audience was quite enthusiastic, which was awesome.

The Worlds scenario for dance is coming more into play. Davis & White and Virtue & Moir clearly fighting for gold again. Pechalat & Bourzat with a lock on the bronze barring a huge mistake (or a huge mistake by one of the top 2 NA teams above them). Then a big battle for 4th-10th places between the top 2 Russian teams, Shibutanis, the 2nd and 3rd Canadian teams, Kerrs, Faiella & Scali.
